My best friend is a bit of a twatwaffle. She made a ridiculous comment at dinner last night and asked me to please abstain from baby making sex for three more months so she doesn't have to drink alone at my wedding and bachelorette party. And then she told me that she's "already dreading that day" because she doesn't have a date. Selfish much? My family planning timeline does not revolve around your drinking plans, sorry lady.
My freaking co-worker that keeps changing things that in turn change the project I am working on. I have now tried to submit 4 times. Every time I hit submit he calls with another change.
My lab. In addition to continually waking us up ridiculously early, he totally knocked my elderly father down to the ground today. 'Fortunately' we have snow banks so it wasn't as bad as it could have been. (OMG I can't believe I'm grateful for snow...) But seriously dog, WTF. You've been well behaved for quite some time what's the deal?
This month. I'm over the month of February. It's been a pile of shit (besides K's birthday). I can not wait till March. Where the days are a little brighter and it actually hits 50 degrees. At 60 I'm taking off my clothes.
The people who are still double parking their cars at work are twatwaffles. If I can see the concrete marker through the thin layer of snow so can you. If you can't see it you don't need to be backing your pickup truck into a parking space. Parking is already crowded enough.

My husband. He couldn't sleep last night, which means I couldn't sleep last night because he doesn't just get out of bed when he can't sleep. He stays in bed and groans and rolls over repeatedly and shit, and now I'm tired. Hopefully I don't fall asleep at my desk. I need those glasses with eyes on them.

I thought my husband was the only one who did that.
MH also pulls the ((stage whisper)) "Hey, are you sleeping??" No, I WAS sleeping but when you talk that loudly and ask me if I'm sleeping, it usually causes said sleeping to stop.
The water company is a twatwaffle because they can't seem to get their shit together and give me running water. When we call, they just tell us we're under a boil water advisory, to which we say we'd love to boil water but they won't give us any to boil. Rage.
Everyone in my family who keeps excitedly reminding me that my cousin is having her 3rd baby... on my due date in June. I am happy for her, and she too went through a long journey for her family, but can you please just not say June 10th 100x every time we talk about it?

I'm a twatwaffle. A long distance friend announced her pregnancy on Facebook last night and I haven't congratulated her. I know they struggled with their first, and have no idea about their journey with this one, but it was a hard ttc day for me yesterday, and if I comment I will get notified with every other comment. I'm happy for them, I just don't want a ton of notifications today.
Although, it's not like I'm not already obsessing over being a shitty friend.

Maybe a win-win would be to congratulate and turn off the notifications?

Hugs. I'm sorry.
Thanks! I'm pretty sure no one remembers that was my due date, especially because I just told everyone "mid-June," but it's still an unhappy coincidence! So I guess none of them are twatwaffles. But it gives me shitty feels nonetheless.

Yeah, or PM or text instead. That's even more personal, and it helps you avoid the subsequent avalanche of holy-shit-a-baby! posts.
right at this very moment my twat waffle is my mother. I am helping her move this morning and I'm sitting at her new house with a truck full of stuff and she's nowhere in sight.
We left their old house at the same time and I specifically asked her if she was going straight there or making any stops. She told me she was going straight there. She was also in front of me. Now I'm sitting here can't get in the house, don't know where she is. She's not answering her phone. Why is she trying to give me a heart attack? I have no idea what happened to her. I'm about to send out a search party. Which is basically me. I don't know how much longer I should give her.
My twatwaffle is this subzero weather. Since there is a travel restriction for all of my clients that live in group homes, I will now have to reschedule a planning meeting for the 3rd time. The house manager keeps trying to hold the meeting without my person present and gives me a hard time for cancelling. I don't know how many times I have to repeat that the auditors said my client has to be present.

My husbands boss! He's been with the company for 3 whole months but I guess since he's the manager he gets to do whatever the frick he wants. He's also the son of a manager at the other location (can we say nepotism?) he is a service adviser for an auto repair shop. Two people have to be there so that at least one person is always up front.
boss decides to announce on Saturday the 14th that he'd be out of town all the following week, despite the fact that he was out of town most of the previous week. He asked dh and his co worker to work 6 days straight, so no off days for anyone. Dh already had plans for his off day to empty our storage unit and co worker had a Drs appointment that he couldn't reschedule. Boss threw a FIT, saying his dad's store was working 6 days straight so why couldn't they? Well they were vacationing only 2 hours from here, so boss had to come back last week weds & Thursday to give them off days. So when dh was off weds, boss complained to co worker all day about how dh isn't a team player. Now he's threatening to not grant dh time off for my surgery!
Uhm im sorry who went on vacation and never put it on the calendar? Or didn't request corporate for a floater? Now you are going to be a twat and try to not approve something dh put on the Calendar almost two months ago!? It won't fly, corporate loves my dh. But it's just the fact that this douche is going around threatening it.
Eta: oh and he wasn't going to let dh take next Tuesday off for my pre op appointment because boss will be out town for training. Dh asked for him to request a floater. Boss said it wasn't his job to cover off days so dh had to contact corporate himself and request a floater.

Isn't that against the Family Medical Leave Act or whatever it is called?

kasaundrar, yah it won't fly. But it's just annoying that he'd even threaten it. He already has a floater for next Tuesday and the boss already approved his time off for my surgery, so he can't take it back. Just pisses me off that he's being such a twat to dh. Dh is already stressed out.

I'm a real estate agent. I'm working on an offer for my buyers and negotiating-- a rather normal thing in this business. The listing agent decides that an appropriate counter would be "Sure, we'll take that offer, if you cut your commission by 25%" (which, surprise surprise, was the difference between the offer and the counter). I'm sorry, since when was it standard practice to take a paycut just so your seller (who is a flipper, that bought the property in cash and has no mortgage to pay off) can make a higher profit margin on an overpriced home to begin with? Twatwaffle move. I would NEVER do that to another agent.
